As you can see, this profile does not resemble the later schematics of his ship, and it does not resemble the attack fighters either. So, I�m thinking that this is something they drew up and later dropped for some reason. We haven�t seen it anywhere else, have we?

Well, there is a precedent for that sort of thing. A graphic for the USS Potempkin showed an Ambassador-class ship in "Second Chances", but in "Ethics" the year before we saw her as an Excelsior-class ship. Whatever graphic that was on the Maquis ship was probably some generic "winged starship" that they computer used. Or the computer or analysis subroutine could have been scrounged from that ship. Or any one of many possibilities.

Yeah, well, sorry about the copy and paste. I�m just not used to Xoom�s weird tos-viol. What is that about?
About the ship, yes, it isn�t unusual for lcars-screens to show the "wrong" ship-class, as with the ambassador-class mentioned above. Or, take for instance Data�s first command, the Nebula-class that showed a Nebula-variant. Or the Oberth-class Pegasus which might or might not show a four-nacelled ship on a screen. With this pic, it looks like we�re seeing a new type of ship, one that I don�t think we�ve seen before. Could this be the infamous "peregrine"-class? :-)

That picture looks like neither the "tactical fighter" of SoA, nor the Academy Trainer. Would be cool to find out what it is. Those pointy wingtips are nice...

That would be funny except it was Tuvok at that station where the screen is. I don't see him doing that kind of stuff.
